Summary "Hop O' My Thumb" by William Morrison is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The story takes place in a futuristic setting where Earth is confronted by an overwhelmingly powerful alien race known as the Hops. The plot revolves around the themes of betrayal and survival, as the protagonist George Everson deliberates the painful decision of surrendering to the Hops to prevent extinction of the human race. In this gripping tale, George Everson struggles with the moral implications of submitting to the Hops, despite public outrage and personal stigma, particularly from his son, Arthur. As he navigates through political pressures and the looming threat of annihilation, it becomes evident that the Hops, small yet formidable beings, wield advanced weaponry and possess a deep-seated ambition for expansion. The story intensifies as Everson realizes the Hops hold secrets that could lead to humanity's demise. However, a surprising twist reveals that the Hops' planetary mass is on the brink of collapse, giving humanity a sliver of hope to reclaim their autonomy. In a dramatic climax, the story highlights the complexities of sacrifice, fear, and unexpected resilience in the face of insurmountable odds. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
